I am always thinking of new ideas for artwork. Some times the ideas come to mind rather quickly and turn out extraordinary. While others take longer and have to be re-created over and over until I get a creation that I'm satisfied with.My artwork "Ruby by the Sea" would be a little of both. I had a picture of my mother's favorite ruby ring spinning in my head. However, the picture that I had in my mind wasn't exactly how it turned out, the final piece was more of a planned experiment.

Welcome to how I view the world and all of its dimensions

A little about myself

The best way I can describe myself and my passion, is simply the word ART. I love everything about the word and all that it involves. Not only do I enjoy creating new artwork through my expressions and ideals, I find pleasure in doing so. They're so many aspects to art and different methods to achieve something beautiful, that I could never get bored. However, they're times I get flusterated, but never stop loving the ART.
Beyond that, I was born and raised In New York City, New York. I call the Manhattan area, the concrete jungle. The tall skyscraper that surrounds me practically from every other corner of a block reminds me of gigantic trees reaching for the sky.
Art is my passion. I’m from the old school; however, I have opened myself up to new experiences with different mediums and technology. I enjoy working with acrylics, its my favorite and at times most challenging. My recent passion has involved digital 3-D art, it's a whole different realm compared to traditional mediums.
